The Oval Beer Garden

It was such a beautiful day, my friends & I decided to check out the summer pop-up, The Oval XP at Eakin's Oval. There's live music, a beer garden, games like corn hole, Jenga, & chess. There's a children's play area, along with a food truck. There's also sweet treats available at Streat Philly, the funnel cake was just what we needed, & Mr. Softee was parked right in front of the Art Museum, too. In addition to the ferris wheel, there's also merry-go-round. This is a nice chill spot for adults & kids, too.

INCREDIBLE. What a fantastic setting for the EAGLES Super Bowl Parade. The OVAL was unbelievable. A couple rows back from the fence was like reaching out and touching the team. Then KELCE put a cherry on top of it all with a speech that left us speechless. If I wasn't there in person I wouldn't believe the fire and pent up emotion he had with every word he methodically uttered, well actually hollered, towards the sea of spectators with our jaws flopping on the ground. The curse words here and there just put an explanation point to the end of an incredible season. His outfit was over the top also. Thank you to all those involved in putting together this incredible event on such short notice that countless onlookers will never forget. But the Philadelphia Police were hands down the biggest shocker as they didn't hassle anyone, they all stayed calm and seemed to enjoy the moment with the rest of us. They could have been jerks and cuffed and hauled alot of intoxicated folks off to jail but instead they let everyone savor the precious moments evolving before our eyes and only addressed a couple situations that's couldn't be overlooked, one was a medical emergency to get the stretcher in and out of the crowd which couldn't have been done any quicker or smoother than it did. The crowd separated opening a huge path for the stretcher and responders. Hope to bring another parade there soon from any of our teams. Getting out after everything was completed was another adventure in its self. Made it out safely and slowly with an extra thick coating if mud up to the knees.

Great place to walk and bike. Always people there, alot of activities year round, great views. Nice park behind the Art Museum on the Schuykill River and Boat House Row. Public Restrooms also. EvenThe President was there!

The Oval is a fine tourist spot for photos. With fountains on either side this is is great spot to visit. The view from the Art museum overlooking downtown Philly is great. You can walk here from downtown or better yet take the Big Bus tours as its along its route and one of the stops.

We walked several miles to see what was happening this summer. Mister, sandbox, bars and food vendors. Great place to hang out if you live in the area. It’s great to see so many people enjoying the activities!
